It is not uncommon for our community to repeated see illegal dumping, especially around the first of the month as people move. Its especially all too common to see mattresses leaning up against litter cans in the neighborhood.

So I’m excited to share that tomorrow, in an effort to deter illegal dumping, the Mayor’s Office of the Clean City, Mayor’s Office of Community Relations and Services, and Department of Public Works are hosing a Roll-Off Day in Columbia Heights on Saturday, July 28th, from 1pm-4pm in front of the 14th and Girard Street Park.

You can bring your bulk trash and other debris to 14th & Girard Streets NW on Saturday, July 28, for FREE disposal! While no hazardous materials or electronics will be accepted you can take those to the Fort Totten Transfer Station for disposal.

If you live in the neighborhood and need assistance moving items, you can call 202-442-8150 to RSVP for volunteer help.

As a REMINDER: Street Sweeping Season begins March 1! – DPW cleans residential and arterial streets using mechanical sweepers of various sizes. Every year, between March 1 and October 31, these sweepers operate along residential streets where signs are posted restricting parking during street sweeping hours. A $45 ticket may be issued for violating these restrictions.

In past years, DPW has issued warnings rather than tickets during the first week, but there is never a guarantee that that will happen this year. In any event, be mindful that the time of year where you have to move your car for the street sweeper has arrived.

Does anyone recognize this dog? It was found near the intersection of Luray and Warder last night (Thursday, May 10) early in the evening. There were no tags and the person currently caring for it adds “appears a bit dirty and frazzled. Somewhat friendly.”

Please contact me if you know how to reunite the owner with their pet.

Park View’s Borders

"The territory comprising Park View extends from Gresham Street north to Rock Creek Church Road, and from Georgia Avenue to the Soldiers' Home grounds, including the triangle bounded by Park Road, Georgia Avenue, and New Hampshire Avenue" (from Directory and History of Park View, 1921.)

A big change is coming to King Street west of Route 1 in Old Town — a new mixed-use development with plenty of fresh red brick, and maybe even some very old red brick. A joint venture of The Holladay Corp. and The Foundry Cos. has filed plans to redevelop 1300-1310 King St., at the intersection of King and South Payne streets. An affiliate of that partnershi […]
